Whitney's dad pleads for money on TV

Singer Whitney Houston's ailing father, who is suing her for $100 million, has made a televised plea for the case to be settled.

John Houston, 82, made the appeal from his hospital bed on the TV show 'Celebrity Justice' just a day after his daughter said that her father's case was "hurtful".

The elder Houston alleges that his daughter hired him and his business partner to help her with various financial difficulties and to negotiate her record contract.

Houston said, "I never thought about suing my daughter, I thought about suing the corporation that belongs to Whitney and she happened to be right in the middle of it".
